Lupe Fiasco - Blur My Hands Lyrics
[Guy Sebastian:]
From the floating death, to the fire of death
To a flower outside my grave and oh man
Were you just being polite with your hands?
Restore the order, we either join or adjourning
Less you join I'm up performing the journey
In all earnest, I go so Bernie
Takes another nigga to turn me
Get it straight, I ain't late on states
I'm just sternly stating
How what I do, with grace takes another nigga to turn mean
My return means like blockbuster with a tick
And I ain't kind but I don't hit
So you starting at the end, that's the part where you begin
Yeah, spoiler alert
I can hear you all saying "boy you're a jerk"
But it's cool though, know we gotta rule yo
Get in, then we win and do it all again, ho
[Hook - Guy Sebastian:]
From the floating death, to the fire of death
To a flower outside of my grave and oh man
Were you just being polite with your hands?
And it really means I'm number one, and you're a fan
Well that's cool, cause I think you're number one too
Yeah that's cool, cause I think you're number one too
Yeah that's cool, cause I think you're number one
Now me and words, we made a deal, that I'm gon' keep 'em real
And they show me their secrets, I can even cop a feel
Victorious, can't match wit, with warriors
I match wig with wits, similarly can't mix matchsticks with forests'
Only you can prevent what I do
Only due can prevent what's my view
I match matchsticks with wicks
Wicker man, take a sip of liquor and
Spit the lip off warriors
And spit flames, nigga get in the gang ahh
[Hook]
It's road rage, without a roll cage
Takes courage to run on these roadways
I know you like "no way", but I'm a full race
All so every soccer Terry Fox moulding, go ahead
Don't stop, go ahead
Sitting in your car, just listening to the bars
And there's traffic all around and you feel like falling down
And the music that I'm spewing out, enough to calm him down
'Fore you know you watch your car with your briefcase walkin' round
And them dollars from the budget that went to S1 Production
And Sebastian on the hook, like being dug by Michael Douglas
So don't start that walk through Echo Park
My life's a one-on-one and you caught up in the jam
Just show some love back to your number one fan
[Hook]

Lupe Fiasco Blur My Hands Comments
Only album I bought physically in the last 10 years cause of this song!
Lupe and Guy can never do wrong. They’re a fire duo!
Lupe is a slick MF!!!! This song has more meaning than what its thought to have on the surface! That’s what I love about him. He doesn’t care he just puts it out and you interpret it however you may!
He's fucking insane with it man! I swear to god, the absolute greatest lyricist to ever put pen to paper!
From a floating death, to the fire of death/ To a flower outside my grave and oh man, were you just being polite with your hands/ And it really means I’m number one coz you’re a fan, well that’s cool coz I think your number one too. 🔥
Who else heard DROGAS Waves and had to plug back in to some old Lupe?
Lupe Fiasco the Christ
Does anyone know what he's referring to with that line "in all earnest I go so Bernie"??? Help me please
"Slick reference to Bert and Ernie from Sesame Street. Can also be used as a reference to Bernie Madoff and the way he schemed his money from investors" ~Rap Genius
The Bernie Madoff part seems like a bit of a stretch but its the only thing I could find
Earnest P Worrell from Hey Vern It's Earnest. He has meaninglessness dialog with Vern as he's never respondent and sees Earnest as a burden. Bernie is the main character from the movie Weekend At Bernies. He was murdered but his two co-stars pretend as if hes still alive so they can continue having a good time. "Take another n!gga to turn me"( Earnest P Worrell/whirl)
I love this song
This album should be accredited just as ' To Pimp A Butterfly ' is. Sacrilege honestly. The real heads no what's up anyhow.
Kenan Mehmed
Yes WE do!!!!
I tip my hat to you sir
DID GUY NOT DRIVE YOU IN THE CARE AND TAKE YOU TO CHURCH AT THE END
Wait holup he said i'm number 1...2

F.U. (middle finger) then throw up the peace sign with two fingers. Lol at least that's what I think.
Are you duck in serious lupe a duck in church buckshot gospel duck in song
Damn this shit touch myh soul
Best song on the album!
Is this about his fans?
If none gets that ending sampled before I do, I'm telling you.
the Falling Down metaphor was cold.
Abdullah Gervin it’s why I came! 🔥🔥🔥 been slipping on Lupe but heard this and was scrolling the comments to see if anyone had any insight on the lyrics to this part.
who's listening to this song in 2017?
Still here in 2018
this was an underrated album...didn't grow on me at first or second listen, but after that...I realized I was snoozin' that's all
GundamKing play it backwards from last track to first and have your mind blown again.
I'm really starting to dislike this guy. The first two albums were good, now it's just... Eh...
so sad to hear you've lost your hearing, I wish you all the best!
U should check your ears fam 💔 hope u feel well soon
*Only you can prevent what I do!* Only dude can prevent what's my fuel!!"
Just...My God *_what a fucking Savage!!!_* :D
Queen Strong only dew can prevent what's my fuel. Dew, moisture preventing wicks from igniting.
This is a master piece. The seasons, dude wow!!!
Favourite track on the album
Love T&Y
Love Lupe
Loving the fact that this track is over 5mins long. Quality music!
Give the singer his props too!
Guy sebastian being dug like Micheal douuuuuuuugles
Still LOVE this track.
In all earnest I go so Bernie......holy crap what a line
Sarkis Castro "Only YOU can prevent what I do!"
_Fucking Savage!!_ :D
Literally didn’t understand this line until I saw it written lol damn
What does it mean @Sarkis Castro
@Victor Garcia Its about Bert and Ernie from Sesame Street.
I don’t get what’s great about it, it’s just wordplay damn. Pick an actual layered ass line
Lupe is just amazing. I been saying this since 2003
This song reminds me to be grateful for the amazing people I have in my life..
When you catch the chorus lyrics
😂😂😂
Replayed this song loads to times during my 11km run last weekend. Lupe is a legend.
WOW WHAT A VISION/EXPERIENCE
i think ur numberrr 1 t luv u
wow. those guitars and that bass. so cool.
I swear I've been looking for this song ever since my bus driver played it
that bus driver knows whatsup haha
That bus driver real 🔥🔥🔥
You have a hell of a bus driver.
That bus driver is a true M.V.P.
I think you're number one tooooooooooooo!👆
Jam T. Jay I think you're number 1🖕 2 ✌...damn
Man, he fell off for a minute, but he's back
He never fell off
@Devin Drasad Lasers was garbage tho.
@King Patt Ok but that was Atlantic Records fault and there were 2 or 3 good songs on lasers
@Devin Drasad Fair, but i didn't really like FNL 2 either
+King Patt yee fnl 2 was plain imo
Lupe is just incredible
@Ali Ridha Fazel Can not argue with that statement
Whoever they had to do the production work on this song did a fabulous job!! They need to keep working with them! I've NEVER heard Guy Sebastian sound that good with as much passion. Great job guys!
I agree man this track is top notch!!!
@Mario Williams Search up Battle Scars, Guy Sebastian Feat Lupe Fiasco
Symbolic One produced this track. aka S1
S1 did the beat, he did a few of the great beats on Kanye's MBDTF 😉
This is definitely a tight track. I shared this on https://www.facebook.com/RadioRuckusShow
Great track! Classic Lupe here.
Yeah an awesome track bro!!!
Both Lupe and guy went in on this track one of my favorite on the album
This is that feel good Chicago type track it reminded me a bit of Kanye's homecoming
Right you can tell guy put his soul into this song
Man I'm so glad that there are so many people that truly appreciate hip hop shoutout to you @KidSasuke231 and all the real hip hop heads!!!
